XR 400 Foot Pegs Bending

(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)


Posted by: Cuz---------------------

My footpegs on my XR are bending down, especially the right side. Does anyone know if this is typically the part of the peg that bolts to the frame or the frame itself? I have not noticed any cracking paint on the frame or anything like that. I did not think that I was being that hard on the bike. I typically ride trails with an occasional harescramble/motocross track. I would really appreciate any info on how to fix this.

Thanks,
Mike

Normally it's the shaft that the peg bolts to.

Yes, it's not unusual to bend pegs on a trail bike if you ride it on the track.

The best way to solve the problem? If it took months to happen, just a suspension upgrade might do the trick.

If you were able to bend them in a few weeks, I'd be shopping for a more air-worthy steed.

BTW, they can be bent back up. No guarantee how long they'll stay there though, unless you fix the suspension or quit jumping doubles.
